We need to talk about #breastfeeding like the reproductive right, child right, and public health issue that it is.

She’s not buying a tiny house. She isn’t even just feeding her child…

People have medical reasons for wanting breastfeeding that you may not have considered:

- minimizing their own risk of developing cancer or diabetes
- sensory needs
- bonding with a surrogate child, foster child, or adopted child
- trying to keep a sick child alive

As a #NurseScientist, I thought it would be fun to track how much time I spent #BreastFeeding my kiddo.

This data helped me:
1. Celebrate the time (yesterday was our last day BFing), and
2. Support other parents and caregivers with data to #MakeCareWorkVisible

THE NUMBERS...

Over 13 months, I breast fed 1862 times for over 400 hours. That is equivalent to more than TEN full time work weeks!!! 😱😱😱
For reference, this data is a little skewed since the amount of time drops off quite a bit once the kiddo starts eating solids.

In the month before he started solids, I nursed him 360 times for nearly 40 hours in 30 days.
